   This is the api endpoint that is called when a password reset is requested in Traffic Portal:
   
   https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/blob/master/traffic_ops/app/lib/TrafficOpsRoutes.pm#L867
   
   which calls
   
   https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/blob/master/traffic_ops/app/lib/API/User.pm#L358
   
   Password reset creates a token and attaches it to the user (if the user email exists) and sends an email with a link to the user's email. By following the link in the email that has the token attached as a query parameter, the user can login to TP via the link and reset their password to what they want.
   
   my guess is you are getting a 500 because you don't have email configured properly.
